Part of the STARQUEST DX series, it combines high-quality parabolic optics with a stable and precise Deluxe equatorial mount, offering a complete and immersive observing experience.<\/p>\n<p>With its generous 130 mm diameter, this telescope represents an excellent compromise between power, transportability and ease of use.<\/p>\n<h3>130 mm parabolic optics: brightness and precision<\/h3>\n<p>The STARQUEST DX130P is equipped with a <strong>130 mm parabolic primary mirror<\/strong>, parabolic mirrors offer excellent image quality. Unlike spherical mirrors, the parabolic shape reduces optical aberrations and delivers sharper images, especially at high magnification.<\/p>\n<p>With a focal length of <strong>650 mm (f\/5)<\/strong>, This telescope offers a relatively wide field of view while retaining good magnification capability. It is ideal for observing :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Moon in fine, contrasting detail<\/li>\n<li>bright planets such as Jupiter and Saturn<\/li>\n<li>nebulae and galaxies<\/li>\n<li>rich star clusters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The treatment <strong>RAQ\u2122 (Radiant Aluminum Quartz)<\/strong> provides up to <strong>94 % reflectivity<\/strong>, for excellent brightness and durability. With <strong>30 % more light than a 114 mm model<\/strong>, This telescope reveals more details of faint deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n<p>The mirror is mounted in a fully collimatable cell, allowing precise adjustment to maintain optimum performance over time.<\/p>\n<h3>STARQUEST DX Deluxe equatorial mount: stability and precise tracking<\/h3>\n<p>The frame <strong>STARQUEST DX Deluxe<\/strong> is designed to offer an excellent compromise between lightness and stability. Once aligned with the celestial pole, it is easy to track objects thanks to its <strong>smooth slow-motion controls<\/strong> on the right ascension (RA) and declination (DEC) axes.<\/p>\n<p>It features :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>360\u00b0 precision gears<\/li>\n<li>clutches on both axes<\/li>\n<li>graduated circles for locating objects<\/li>\n<li>worm and helical gear transmission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Its load capacity of <strong>5 kg<\/strong> provides excellent stability, reinforced by a <strong>adjustable stainless steel tripod<\/strong>. An optional motor can be added for automatic tracking on the RA axis, further enhancing viewing comfort.<\/p>\n<h3>Robust, portable design<\/h3>\n<p>The optical tube is equipped with\u2019<strong>fixing rings<\/strong> and a 45 mm dovetail for easy mounting and balancing. Despite its performance, the unit remains relatively light and portable, ideal for outdoor observations.<\/p>\n<p>The adjustable tripod (680 mm to 1160 mm) lets you adjust the height to suit your needs, providing a comfortable viewing position.<\/p>\n<h3>Complete accessories for immediate start<\/h3>\n<p>The STARQUEST DX130P comes with all the accessories you need to get started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 mm and 20 mm eyepieces (x32.5 and x65 magnifications)<\/li>\n<li>red dot finder for easy object location<\/li>\n<li>universal smartphone adapter (54 to 90 mm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The smartphone holder makes it easy to capture images of your observations, especially of the Moon and planets, so you can share your discoveries.<\/p>\n<p>The Rack &amp; Pinion eyepiece holder ensures smooth, precise focusing, enhancing user comfort.<\/p>\n<h3>Performance and versatility<\/h3>\n<p>With a theoretical maximum magnification of <strong>x260<\/strong>, This telescope offers excellent observation potential. Its combination of large aperture and moderate focal length makes it a particularly versatile instrument, equally suited to deep sky and planetary observation.<\/p>\n<p>The thin branches of the secondary mirror support (0.5 mm) minimize diffraction, enhancing image contrast.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to observe lunar craters, explore distant galaxies or get started in astrophotography with a smartphone, this model will fully meet your expectations.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical data table<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical type<\/td>\n<td>Newton (parabolic mirror)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diameter<\/td>\n<td>130 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focal length<\/td>\n<td>650 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focus report<\/td>\n<td>f\/5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Magnifications supplied<\/td>\n<td>x32.5 and x65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum magnification<\/td>\n<td>x260<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical treatment<\/td>\n<td>RAQ\u2122 (94% reflectivity)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame<\/td>\n<td>Equatorial STARQUEST DX Deluxe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Load capacity<\/td>\n<td>5 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focuser<\/td>\n<td>Rack &amp; Pinion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tripod<\/td>\n<td>Adjustable stainless steel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accessories included<\/td>\n<td>10 mm &amp; 20 mm eyepieces, red dot finder, smartphone adapter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <strong>Skywatcher STARQUEST DX130P<\/strong> is a complete, powerful and upgradeable telescope, perfect for enthusiasts wishing to explore the sky with precision and comfort.
